What a beautiful way to grieve. My heart is lightened by the knowledge that a generation of people are keeping it alive.
At the same time, I am saddened that anyone of my Christian faith would shame communities for practicing such a ritual. I wonder why there would be a perceived threat associated with such an act? I pray those Christians find understanding and acceptance in rituals they do not understand. It is after all what Jesus calls us to do.
